FOR  CHANGE  OF  LIFE. 

Zodiac,  Mo.,  March

of  life  it  cannot  be  surpassed.  Mrs.  Ed.  T. 

COMRADES. 

We  from  childhood  played  together, 

My  dear  comrade,  Jack  and  I. 

We  would  fight  each  other’s  battles, 

To  each  other’s  aid  would  fly  ; 

And  in  boyish  scrapes  and  troubles 
You  would  find  us  everywhere  ; 
Where  one  went  the  other  followed, 
Naught  c'ould  part  us,  for  we  were  : 


Chorus. 


Comrades,  comrades  ever  since  we  were  boys. 
Sharing  each  other’s  sorrow^,  sharing  each  other’s 
joys; 

Conirades  when  manhood  was  dawning. 

Faithful  whate’er  might  betide ; 

When  danger  threaten’d,  my  darling  old  comrade 
was  there  by  my  side ! 

I  enlisted,  Jack  came  wdth  me. 

And  ups  and  downs  we  shared  ; 

For  a  time  our  lives  were  peaceful. 

But  at  length  war  was  declared  ; 

England’s  flag  had  been  insulted. 

We  were  ordered  to  the  front. 

And  the  regiment  we  belonged  to 
Had  to  bear  the  battle’s  brunt. — Chorus. 


In  the  night  the  Ravage  foeraen 
Crept  around  us  as  we  lay  ! 

To  our  arms  we  leaped  and  faced  them. 
Back  to  back  we  stood  at  bay ! 

As  I  fought,  a  savage  at  me 
Aimed  his  spear,  like  lightning’s  dart. 
But  my  comrade  sprang  to  save  me. 

And  received  it  in  his  heart.— CTiortw.

age  has  cured  more  cases  of  Dyspepsia  and  Indi¬

medicines  combined.  The  powdered  medicine  ig 
best  and  may  be  taken  dry  or  made  into  a  tea,  a®

March  22,  1890  , 

I  am  28  years  old,  and  have  been  troubled  with 
dyspepsia  ever  since  I  can  recollect.  By  reading 
the  Ladies’  Birthday  Almanac  I  was  induced  to  try 
a  25-cent  package  of  Thedford’s  Black-Draught 
powders,  and  a  bottle  of  McElree’s  Wine  of  Cardui. 
I  have  not  taken  half  of  either,  but  can  say  that  I 
am  sound  and  well,  and  I  think  both  medicines  de- 
i^srve  more  praise  than  you  give  them.

When  my  wife  commenced  using  Thedford’s  Black- 
Draught  she  weighed  115  pounds;  now  she  weighs  150

years,  and  have  not  paid  a  doctor’s  bill  in  that  time.

THE  CELEBRATED 

WOODHAM  CASE. 


Warkenton,  Marshall  Co.,  Ala.,  > 
November  17,  1889.  j 

Mes^.  M.  A.  Thedford  &  Co.  ; 

I  wish  to  give  Thedford’s  Black-Draught  the 
praise  of  all  I  ever  tried. 

I  was  bothered  for  two  years  with  stom&ch 
worms,  but  they,  stayed  in  the  lower  part.  I  suf¬ 
fered  forty  deaths.  I  was  a  poor  farmer,  a  renter, 
had  four  children,  none  of  them  able  to  help  me. 
I  had  not  a  dollar.  I  went  to  see  the  doctors,  and* 
they  wanted  a  great  sum  of  money  to  cure  me.  I 
bought  a  box  of  Black-Draught  from  a  peddler  in 
March,  1887,  and  I  knew  at  once  that  it  was  help¬ 
ing  me.  I  used  it  for  twelve  months,  two  or  three 
times  a  month,  till  I  was  on  a  stand-still.  I  de¬ 
cided,  after  reading  about  it,  that  I  would  give  it 
a  fair  trial.  I  took  all  I  could  bear  for  ten  days. 
On  the  ninth  day  I  was  very  weak.  The  tenth 
day  I  could  hear  it  cutting  in  my  left  side  plain. 
In  the  afternoon  of  the  tenth  day  Utere  was  flecks 
passed  ojfl  from  my  liver  eight  inches  long,  two  inches 
thick,  and  strong  as  cloth.  I  was  a  new  man  at 
once.  I  reckon  I  have  caused  the  sale  of  a  thou¬ 
sand  boxes  of  the  medince  in  this  county.  I  could 
write  a  piece  a  mile  long  about  it,  but  I  say  it  is 
the  best  family  medicine  made  in  the  world.  If 
you  can  get  any  thing  out  of  this  worth  publish¬ 
ing,  go  ahead.  I  have  given  the  medicine  a  fair 
trial  and  it  does  all  you  claim.  . 

Yours  truly, 

A.  A.  WOODHAM.

AFTER  TWENTY  YEARS. 

Mrs.  L.  a.  Crdmy,  Village,  Ark.  Feb’y  19, 1892,  writ€S: 

1  have  suffered  with  sick-headache  for  twenty  years,  and 
during  the  last  year  had  a  nervous  attack  twice  a  week. 
Two  months  ago  I  commenced  using  Thedford’s  Black- 
Draught  and  have  had  only  one  slight  attack  since. 

ARE  YOU  GOING  TO  THE  BALL? 

Not  long  ago  while  walking  out 
Along  the  avenue, 

I  tumbled  on  a  big  surprise, 

It  struck  me  as  quite  new. 

^  The  boys  and  girls  were  in  their  glee, 

It  was  about  midday, 

I  thought  it  shockingly  absurd, 

Whene’er  I  heard  them  say  : 

Chobcs. — Good  evening,  this  evening, 

Are  you  going  to  the  ball? 

Not  this  evening,  good  evening, 

Good  evening,  one  and  all. 

Fine  evening,  this  evening. 

This  evening’s  very  warm. 

Good  evening,  this  evening, 

Good  evening,  take  my  arm. 

While  wondering  and  pondering 
Just  what  it  all  could  mean, 

1  chanced  to  look  around  and  spy 
The  sweetest  little  queen. 

She  looked  so  real  bewitching  sweet 
1  sighed  and  said,  O  dear. 

She  sailed  up,  seized  me  by  the  nose 
And  whispered  in  my  ear : — Chorus. 

We  strolled  along,  both  side  by  side, 

She  said  I  was  her  mash, 

Th<m  dragge<l  me  in  a  restaurant 
And  ordered  up  some  hash. 

She  must  have  fasted  forty  days, 

I’m  sure  she  ate  her  fill. 

She  sweetly  smiled,  and  I  was  beguiled 
And  settled  up  the  bill- 

Mrs.  Rebecca  M.  .Tomes,  Dota,  Ark.,  .laiiuary  30,  1892. 

After  Kivlng  Theilford’s  Black-Draught  a  thorough  trial, 
we  think  it  superior  to  any  medicine  we  ever  used  for  all 
bilious  diseases. 


Constipated  Bowels,. 


This  troublesome  disease  is  Qot  only  dangerous 
itself,  but  frequently  causes  piles,  bowel  aiO'di 
stomach  diseases,  and  destroys  the  health  of  thow 
sands  of  women  3>«arly.  It  should  never  be  ^eg 
iscted  in  its  mildest  stage,  as  an  interruption 
the  daily  stools  may  lay  the  foundation  of  di® 
5!ftse8  often  incurable.  It  is  through  the  bowels 
that  the  waste  and  decaj^ed  matter  of  the  humaw 
system  finds  an  escape.  Costiveness  may  be  the 
reault  of  neglect,  as  a  habit  of  going  to  the  stoo^ 
je^larly  is  very  important,  but  more  frequenti'' 
ti  is  caused  by  a  torpid  liver.

fharacter  of.  this  tea  recommends  it  particularh 
^  women,  and  in  larger  do-ses  to  men.

Sick  Headache. 


WOMEN  are  usually  more  susceptible  to  at= 
tacks  of  this  disease*than  men.  It  is  gen= 
erally  caused  by  indigestion,  derangement 
of  the  stomach,  or  a  torpid  liver. '  A  dose  of  Thed- 
ford’s  Black-Draught  taken  when  the  first  symp¬ 
toms  of-an  attack  are  felt,  will  usually  prevent  it. 
A  dose  after  the  attack,  repeated  in  two  or  three 
hours  if  not  relieved,  will  usually  cure  the  worst 
case.  An  occasional  dose  by  persons  subject  to  the 
disease,  is  generally  a  sure  preventative. 


SufTered )  Case  ATo.  14,456.— A.  lady  liv- 
from  [-ing  in  Michigan  had  been  a  sufferer 
Infancy  J  with  sick-headache  from  infancy. 
When  a  little  girl  she  could  eat  no  sweetmeats,  nuts 
or  cake  without  being  prostrated  the  next  day  with 
sick  stomach  and  headache.  As  she  grew  up  she 
was  attacked  every  two  weeks  with  the  dread  dis¬ 
ease,  and  yearly  it  became  worse.  She  had  regu= 
lar  periodical  attacks  twice  a  month,  and  the  least 
over-eating,  extra  exertion  or  excitement  was  sure 
to  bring  on  an  attack.  These  attat;ks  would  often 
last  two  days,  and  during  the  time  she  could  not 
xfaise  her  head  from  her  pillow  vnthout  becoming 
deathly  sick  and  vomiting.  We  advised  her  to  try 
a  tea  made  from  Thedford’s  Black-Draught,  to  be 
taken  just  before  an  expected  attack.  The  first 
month  she  had  only  one  slight  attack,  and  twelve 
months  after  she  wrote  that  she  was  entirely  cured, 
having  had  no  headache  in  six  months,  and  her 
general  health  was  greatly  improved.

Bowie,  Montague  Co.,  Texas,  Dec.  10th,  1891. 
For  constipation,  colds,  chills  and  fever,  and  any  derange¬

MAGGIE  BY  MY  SIDE. 

The  land  of  my  home  is  flitting, 

Flitting  from  nay  view.

Maggie  dear !  my  own  love  !  sitting  by  my  side. 

The  wdnd  howling  o’er  the  billow 
From  the  distant  lea. 

The  storm  raging  round  my  pillow. 

Bring  no  care  to  me. 

Roll  on,  ye  dark  waves,  o’er  the  troubled  tide  ; 

I  heed  not  your  anger,  Maggie’s  by  my  side. 

— Chorus. 

Storms  can  appal  me  never. 

While  her  brow  is  clear ; 

^Fair  weather  lingers  ever 

Where  her  smiles  appear. 

When  sorrow’s  breakers  round  my  heart  shall  bide. 
Still  may  I  find  her  sitting  by  my  side. — Chorus. 


Mrs.  Mary  Mabshai.i.,  of  Conway,  Florida,  writes,  Dec. 
7th,  1891;  I  have  suffered  with  Sick  Headache  for  ten  years, 
and  have  used  one  package  of  Thedford’s  Black-Draught, 
and  haven’t  had  the  headache  since  the  first  dose. 


A  Common  Cold. 

7j  BAD  co,ki  is  the  foundation  of  many  diseases 
/^and  makes  thousands  of  invalids  every  year 
(Q)  Cough  medicines,  “  Consumption  cures”  and  Bal 
sams  are  all  right  in  their  proper  places,  hut  they  onl]? 
relieve  the  symptoms  of  a  cold.  The  seat  of  the  dis 
ease  is  in  the  pores  of  the  skin,  the  blood  circulatioB 
and  the  liver  and  bowels. 


To  Care  1  Take  a  full  dose  of  tea,  made  from  Thed 
A  Cold.  )  ford’s  Black-Draught  powders,  at  bed-time 
If  there  is  fever  attending  the  cold,  take  eighteen  grains 
of  quinine  the  following  day,  dividing  it  into  three 
doses  of  six  grains  each,  three  hours  apart. 

This  treatment  will  break  up  the  hardest  cold.  It 
is  sometimes  necessary  to  repeat  the  Black-Draught 
the  second  night  after,  should  the  patient  be  exposeij! 
to  bad  weather,  but  those  who  have  never  tried  it  wull 
be  astonished  at  the  quick  relief. 

It  may  not  stop  the  cough,  which  should  be  treated 
with  an  appropriate  remedy,  but  it  will  open  the  pores 
of  the  skin,  start  the  blood  to  circulating  freely,  ac4

I  have  been  a  constant  user  of  Black-Draught  and 
Bronchomel  in  my  family  for  several  years.  They  ar« 
both  without  rivals.  I  am  just  recovering  from  an 
attack  of  La  Grippe  cured  by  Black-Draught  and 
Bronchomel.  About  a  year  ago,  I  was  down  with  a 
severe  “Influenza”  for  six  weeks.  After  using  one 
gallon  of  whiskey  and  race  ginger  with  no  benefit.  I 
got  a  package  of  Black-Draught  and  some  Bronchomel. 
I  took  a  large  dose  of  Black-Draught  at  night,  and  the 
next  day  took  a  little  Bronchomel  every  ten  minutes. 
The  day  after  my  cough  was  gone,  and  I  was  entirely 
well.  It  beats  all  on  colds  and  coughs!

THE  STANDARD  FOR  FIFTY  YEARS. 

» 

Thedford’s  Black-Draught  was  first  used  about  the  year 
1835.  It  has  been  in  constant  use  ever  since,  and  over  fifty 
years  of  medical  research  has  failed  to  produce  its  equal  for 
the  treatment  of  Liver  Diseases. 


JENNY,  MY  OWN  LOVE. 

Jenny,  my  o-wn  true  loved  one, 

I’m  going  far  from  thee,  *> 

Out  on  the  bounding  billows. 

Out  on  the  dark  blue  sea. 

How  I  will  miss  you,  my  darling. 

There,  when  the  storm  is  raging  high; 
Jenny,  my  own  true  loved  one. 

Wait  till  the  clouds  roll  by. 

• 

CHOKUS. 

Wait  till  th*e  clouds  roll,  Jenny, 

Wait  till  the  clouds  roll  by ; 

Jenny,  my  own  true  loved  one, 

Wait  till  the  clouds  roll  by. 

«  Jenny,  when  far  from  thee,  love, 

I’m  on  the  ocean  deep. 

Will  you  then  dream  of  me,  love. 

Will  you  your  promise  keep? 

And  I  will  come  to  you,  darling, 

Take  courage,  dear,  and  never  sigh. 
Gladness  will  follow  sorrow — 

Wait  till  the  clouds  roll  by. 

Wait  till  the  clouds,  etc. 

Mrs.  J.  W.  M.  Atchison,  Peoria,  Texas,  Feb’y  18, 1892,  says : 

I  have  used  Thedford’s  Black-Draught  in  my  family  for 
six  years.  It  can’t  be  beat  for  Chillfl  and  Fever,  headache, 
bad  colds  and  La  Grippe. 


Chills  and  Fever. 


eHRONIC  cases  of  chills  and  fever  are  fre¬ 
quently  cured  with  Thedford’s  Black-Draught, 
when  all  other  remedies  fail.  Torpid  action 
of  the  liver  is  usually  the  cause  of  the  disease,  and 
while  calomel  may  irritate  and  thus  cause  tempo¬ 
rary  action  pf  the  liver,  the  reaction  from  its  effects 
is  very  debilitating.  Thedford’s  Black-Draught  is 
a  stimulant,  as  well  as  a  cathartic,  and  strenghtens 
while  it  pui’ges  the  system.  If  persons  living  in 
malarial  climates  will  keep  Black  -  Draught  con¬ 
stantly,  and  take  a  dose  when  they  feel  symptoms 
of  biiiousness„they  will  never  have  chills  and  fever. 


Winchester,  Tex.,  November  25,  1889. 

I  wish  to  tell  you  that  your  Thedford’s  Black- 
Draught  has  cured  all  of  my  family  of  chills  and 
fever,  when  I  could  not  get  any  thing  else  to  relieve 
them.  There  is  nothing  equal  to  it  on  the  market

Tyler,  Smith  Co.,  Tex.,  February  22,  1890. 

I  take  pleasure  in  saying  that  I  have  been  using 
Thedford’s  Black-Draught  for  five  years.  It  is  the 
best  and  cheapest  liver  medicine  I  can  find.  There 
has  been  only  one  dose  of  calomel  used  in  my 
family  for  five  years,  and  that  did  no  good.

Bartlett,  Tex.,  February  18, 1890. 

I  find  Thedford’s  Black-Draught  superior  to  any

Ferris,  Ellis  Co.,  Tex.,  March  16, 1890. 

My  daughter  has  been  in  bad  health  for  over  a 
year,  having  chills  every  two  or  three  weeks.  I 
got  a  bottle  of  McElree’s  Wine  of  Cardui  and  a 
package  of  Thedford’s  Black-Draught,  and  they 
have  done  her  more  good  than  anything  else  she 
has  taken,  M.  E,  BRIGGS.

GOOSE  AND  INGUNS. 

Oh,  dear!  I’m  nearly  starving,  « 

1  want  something  nice  to  eat, 

I  fancy  myself  carving 

Big  pies  and  joints  of  meat; 

Roast  pork  or  leg  of  mutton 
To  me  would  be  of  use ; 

And  though  I’m  not  a  glutton* 

Still  I’d  polish  off  a  goose! 

Chorus. — For  it  is  my  opinion, 

That  stuffed  with  sage  and  inguns, 

No  bird  that  flies  is  half  so  nice, 

As  a  goose  with  sage  and  inguna. 

I’m  very  fond  of  turkey. 

Spring  chicken  is  good  to  take. 

Of  partridge  or  of  pheasant, 

A  dinner  I  could  make. 

1  like  corned-beef  and  mustard, 

Or  sirloin  steak  with  juice. 

Or  prairie  hen  or  bustard  fat, 

But  most  I  love  a  goose ! 

.  For  it.  is  my  opinion,  etc. 

I’ve  liver  tried,  and  bacon. 

And  tripe  both  boiled  and  fried; 

A  sheep’s  head  I’ve  taken. 

And  put  myself  outside. 

Though  turtle-soup  is  filling. 

And  flshballs  joy  produce, 

’Tis  not  the  rapture  or  the  joy. 

That  appertains  to  goose  ! 

For  it  is  my  opinion,  etc.

fenow  the  Black-Draught  to  be  an  excellent  remedy. 
I  have  had  liver  complaint  since  a  child  four  years

physicians  as  there  are  in  South  Carolina,  Georgia,

anything  to  compare  with  Black  -  Draught.  My

Morning  Bitters.- 


?UT  a  25  cent  package  of  Thedford’s  Black- 
Draught  powders  into  a  quart  of  good  whisky. 
Let  it  stand  over  night,  when  it  will  be  ready 
for  use.  If  the  hitters  are  too  strong,  add  a  quart 
of  water,  and  you  will  still  have  bitters  much 
stronger  than  the  common  bitters  sold  for  a  dollar 
a  bottle.  Sugar  or  spices  may  be  added  to  suit  the 
taste.  These  bitters  will  aid  digestion,  act  gently 
on  the  bowels,  improve  the  appetite,  prevent  ma¬ 
laria,  chills,  biliousness  and  fevers,  and  add  to  your 
strength;

dram  before  or  after  each  meal.  A  month  later  he 
wrote  that  he  was  stronger  than  he  had  been  m

POOR  OLD  SLAVE. 

’Tis  just  one  year  ago  to-day, 

That  1  ruinember  well, 

I  eat  down  by  poor  Nelly’s  side, 

A  story  she  did  tell ; 

’Twas  about  a  poor,  unhappy  slave, 

That  lived  for  many  a  year; 

But  now  he’s  dead  and  in  his  grave, 

No  master  does  he  fear. 

Chorus. — The  poor  old  slave  has  gone  to  rest. 
We  know  that  he  is  free  ; 

Disturb  him  not,  but  let  him  rest 
Way  down  in  Tennessee. 

She  took  my  arm,  we  walk’d  along 
Into  an  open  field. 

And  here  she  paused  to  breathe  awhile. 

Then  to  his  grave  did  steal. 

She  sat  down  by  that  little  mound, 

And  softly  whispered  there, 

“Come  to  me,  father,  ’tis  thy  child,” 

Then  gently  dropped  a  tear. 

But  since  that  time,  how  things  have  changed, 
Pqor  Nellie  that  was  my  bride. 

Is  laid  beneath  the  cold  grave-sod 
With  her  father  by  her  side. 

I  planted  there  upon  her  grave. 

The  weeping  willow  trge, 

I  bathed  its  roots  with  many  a  tear, 

That  it  might  shelter  me.

STOCK  AND  POULTRY. 

Many  people  do'  nol

Poultry  catch  Cold,  have 
Rheumatism,  Liver  Com-i 
plaint,  Dyspepsia,  Kid¬ 
ney  Disease ;  that  thei? 
bowels  become  consti¬ 
pated  ,  producing  colic  and 
other  diseases  just  tha 
same  as  men  and  women. 

Domestic  animals  real¬ 
ly  require  more  careful 
watching  and  treatment 
than  human  beings,  be¬ 
cause  they  are  unable  to 
reason  and  doctor  them¬ 
selves. 

How  to  treat  tbem. 

Treat  them  when  sick  as  you  would  a  child, 
give  them  the  same  medicines  for  the  sara® 
diseases,  as  you  Wbuld  take  yourself.  Give  lar  '  i 
doses,  because  it  takes  more  to  bring  them  und  i 
the  influence,  but  don’t  ever  be  satisfied  to  do  s 
sick  horse  or  cow  with  ‘‘  Condition  Powd  rs 
They  are  intended  to  irritate  the  stomach,  and 
thus  create  an  unnatural  appetite.

GOOD  NEWS  FROM  HOME. 

Good  news  from  home — good  news  for  me, 
Has  come  across  the  deep  blue  sea, 

F'rom  friends  that  I  have  left  in  tears— 
From  friends  that  I’ve  not  seen  for  years; 
And  since  we  parted  long  ago, 

My  life  has  been  a  scene  of  wme. 

But  now  a  joyful  hjiur  has  come, 

For  I  have  heard  good  news  from  home. 

No  father’s  near  to  guide  me  now, 

No  mother’s  tear  to  soothe  my  brow. 

No  sister’s  voice  falls  on  mine  ear, 

No  brother’s  smile  to  give  me  cheer ;  ^ 

But,  though  I  wander  far  away, 

My  heart  is  full  of  joy  to-day, 

For  friends  across  the  ocean’s  foam, 

Have  sent  to  me  good  netvs  from  home. 

When  shall  I  see  that  cottage  door. 

Where  I’ve  spent  years  of  joy  before? 

’Twas  there  I  knew  no  grief  nor  care. 

My  heart  was  always  happy  there  ; 

Though  I  may  never  see  it  more. 

Nor  stand  upon  my  native  shore. 

Where’er  on  earth  I’m  doom’d  to  roam. 

My  heart  will  be  with  those  at  home.

THE  WAY  TO  KISS  YOUR  GIRL. 

Peaches  and  cream  once  a  week, 

Kiss  your  girl  on  the  right  hand  cheek, 
Apples  fried  and  apples  dried. 

Kiss  her  on  the  other  side. 

Your  way  displays  a  wretched  taste; 

Place  your  arm  around  her  waist ; 
liaise  her  on  her  pink  toe  tips. 

And  plant  it  squarely  on  her  lips. 

I  think  my  way  is  far  the  best ; 

Give  your  own  dear  girl  a  rest, 

Set  the  nation  in  a  whirl. 

And  kiss  some  other  fellow’s  girl. 

Take  your  girl  in  warm  embrace, 

Heart  to  heart,  and  face  to  face  ; 

Eyes  to  eyes,  and  nose  to  nose, 

A  flipity  flop,  and  away  she  goes. 

What  is  the  use  of  all  this  rhyme? 

Take  your  girl  at  any  time  ; 

Squeeze  her  till  the  blushes  come. 

Close  your  eyes  and — yum,  yum,  yum.

A  Wonderful  Medicine 


EVERAL  years  Rev.  R.  L.  McElree  'wae 
visiting  the  family  of  one  of  his  parishiori’ 
ers,  when  his  attention  was  called  to  a  sin¬ 
gular  variety  of  herbs  in  their  possession.  He 
was  told  that  during  the  early  settlement  of  Ten 
uessee  a  kinsman  of  this  family,  emigrating  from 
Uorlh  Carolina,  pitched  his  camp  for  a  night  in 
^bhe  Cherokee  Nation’s  reservation  in  northern 
'S^eorgia,  near  an  Indian  village. 

In  his  family  was  a  girl  about  fifteen  years  old; 
fust  passing  to  womanhood.  During  the  evening 
this  girl  was  attacked  by  violent  pains.  An  old 
Iffidian  squaw  witnessed  it,  and,  without  a  word, 
went  to  her  wigwam,  selected  some  herbs  from 
her  store,  prepared  a  decoction  and  administered 
1%  to  the  suffering  girl.  In  five  minutes  the  pain 
was  entirely  relieved. 

The  mother  of  the  girl  procured  some  seeds 
^^nd  raised  the  herbs  from  year  to  year.  Mr.  Me- 
Mree  carried  some  of  the  herbs  away  with  him, 
found  that  a  wine  made  from  them  was  al¬ 
most  a  specific  in  the  treatment  of  diseases  pecul¬ 
iar  to  females. 

In  1879  he  solicited  the  Chattanooga  Medicine 
Company  to  manufacture  the  wine  and  place  it 
before  the  public.  To  test  the  value  of  it,  the 
Medicine  Company  searched  the  country  over, 
and  treated  every  case  of  female  disease  they 
wild  hear  of  with  the  Wine  of  Cardui,  making 
ao  charge  unless  a  cure  was  accomplished. 

About  seven  thousand  cases  were  treated  in 
Ibis  way,  and  less  than  five  hundred  failures, 
were  reported.  Every  class  of  female  disease  was 
treated;  chronic  cases  of  twenty  years  standing 
jrere  cured.  It  was  found  that  the  Wine  was  not 
only  an  Emmenagogue,  out  a  most  astonishing 
tonic  for  women.  Ladies  who  were  v^eak,  nerv¬ 
ous  and  debilitated  discovered  that  the  Wine  re¬ 
stored  their  strength,  quieted  their  nerves,  and 
^jacreased  their  flesh  and  energy.  Young  girls 
were  carried  over  a  critical  period  in  their  livee 
by  it,  in  perfect  health  and  safetyo

IT’S  NAUGHTY,  BUT  IT’S  NICE. 

Of  love  at  first  sight  you  have  heard — 

Well,  I  am  a  luckless  cove, 

And  love  a  lass,  upon  my  word, 

Who  lives  in  Spy  Pond  Grove; 

At  the  charming  game  of  croquet,  I 
Uave  been  her  partner  twice ; 

I  love  her — ain’t  it  naughty  ? 

Well,  it’s  naughty,  but  it’s  nice. 

Chorus. — You  can  not  say  it’s  wicked. 

For  it’s  not  a  glaring  vice  ; 

You  can  only  say  it’s  naughty; 
Well,  it’s  naughty,  but  it’s  nice. 

Last  night  I  called  at  Spy  Pond  Grove, 

And  asked  if  she*  would  go 
To  walk,  and  we  would  talk  of  love ; 

At  first  she  answered  “  No  ;  ” 

Then  con.sented,  and  we  walked  and  talked, 
1  thought  it  Paradise. 

But  she  said  ’twas  wrong ;  I  answered, 

Well,  it’s  naughty,  but  it’s  nice. — Chorus. 

I  put  my  arm  around  her  waist. 

Her  form  I  gently  pressed. 

And  then  she  laid  her  lovely  face 
Upon  my  manly  chest ; 

I  kissed  her  two  times  on  the  cheek, 

I  would  have  kissed  her  thrice. 

But  I  whispered  “Ain’t  it  naughty?” 

She  said,  “Yes,  but  it’s  so  nice.” — Chorus. 


nowE,  Texas,  Nov.  26, 1889. 

I  have  been  using  Thedford’s  Black-Draught  in  my  family 
for  eight  years.  My  wife  and  myself  both  take  it,  and  I  have

using  it.  *  .  J.  E.  Smith. 


HIDB-BOUND  jSl'TOCM. 


In  nine  cases  out  of  ten,  “hide-bound”  horses, 
mules  or  cattle  are  suffering  from  constipation, 
biliousness  or  torpid  liver.  Nine-tenths  of  the 
medicines  used  by  physicians  are  purgatives.  Treat 
your  stock  as  you  would  your  children  or  yourself. 
We  have  never  seen  a  horse  that  would  not  fatten, 
or  shed  off  in  tlie  spring,  if  given  a  dose  of  Black- 
Draught  Stock  Medicine  for  three  to  ten  days  in 
guccession. 

Hillman’s  Stork,  Ala.,  September  25,  1889. 

As  a  preventative  and  cure  tor  all  diseases  aris- 
tog  from  a  disordered  liver,  I  do  not  believe  that 
there  is  a  medicine  made  that  equals  Thedford’s 
Black  -  Draught,  for  man  or  stock.  I  use  it  with 
ffreat  success  in  nearly  every  disease  that  attacks 
my  stock.  J.  C.  CARTER. 


Georgetown,  Tex.,  March  8, 1890. 

I  have  used  Thedford’s  Black-Draught  on  the 
farm  and  ranch,  and  find  it  a  splendid  medicine  for 
stock,  as  well  as  for  family  use.  Its  effect  is  charm- 
mff  when  given  to  horses  in  spring  of  the  year.

Leesburg,  Camp  Co.,  Tex.,  January  24,  1890. 

I  want  to  sav  a  few  words  to  you  about  Thed¬ 
ford’s  Black  -  draught.  IWe  have  what  is  called 
Blind  Staggers  among  the  horses  h^e  ifi  Texas. 
Some  give  one  thing,  and  some  another  for  it.  i 
gave  a  26-cent  package  of  Black-Draught  in  one 
case,  and  it  cured  the  horse  without  any  other 
medicine.  I  have  used  it  in  all  kinds  of  sickness 
amongst  stock  and  chickgns,  and'find 
time.  A.  J.  BARNES. 


Centre  City,  Cooke  Co.,  Tex.,  Jiine  25,  1^90. 

I  have  been  using  Thedford’s  Black-Draught  for 
some  time,  and  lately  for  staggers  m  horses.  1 
believe  it  is  good,  but  can  tell  better  after  further 
trial.  So  far,  would  recommend  it  for  staggers. 
If  a  .bad  case,  use  about  one  and  ^  half  25-c‘en« 
packages.  J.  W.  JONES.

As  a  family  circle  round’ each  night
